No one really knows much about The Associate.

That’s he’s an Aussie and

that he was once with the Corps is certain. Been in near orbit too. But
exactly which and what he did is unclear. Why he left and went freelance
is also unknown. He’s a dab hand at combat and can hold his own with
professional military personal. His research skills are solid, and he
knows his way around all the various cultural hierarchies of the world.
Some say he’s spent time in Asia, maybe Hong Kong or even Singapore. No
one’s really sure. One thing people do know is that he’s one of the few
people eccentric multimillionaire industrialist and techie Gary Ottman
trusts. Now why this is so, no one seems to know for sure. Seems to have
no family or living relatives.

The Associate is a man of few words. A quiet and self-reliant type of

guy. Something of a gentleman too. Good with the ladies. There’s an
underlying toughness as well. But no arrogance or ego.

Gary Ottman is a weird one…

His old man was a Fijian from one of the pirate fleets and his mom was
an African-American with the Blood Razors. Both of them brought it,
along with his two older brothers, in a police operation gone sour.

Ottman spent his childhood on the streets. He grew up arrogant, proud

and aloof. He joined the military for a tour of duty and ended up in
Hong Kong. That’s where he met and befriended Shi De Chao, a Shaolin
Warrior Monk from the Shaolin Temple in the Henan Province of China.
They’re still good friends and spend a few weeks together in Hong Kong
every autumn. It was in Hong Kong that Ottman started to acquire his
stock portfolio, and became an adviser to C-Team and Autojoks.

Today old Gary Ottman is a multimillionaire and eccentric techie. He

owns a Harris and Company luxury penthouse atop the Sea Breeze Tower in
Melbourne. In addition to all the mod-cons, he keeps a pair of fully
trained vat-grown cheetahs in the conapt and a helicopter (Bell Spy-Eye
18) ready on the roof pad. He spends every autumn at the Mandarin Hotel
in Hong Kong and escapes the winter cold of Melbourne at the Kona
Village Resort in Hawaii.

Ottman has few close friends and is rarely seen by those within the
corporate world. He’s a HUMBLE addict and smokes a pack of the finest
French cigarettes a day. His preferred drink is Taittinger Champagne. He
thinks that Eggs Benedict are always appropriate.

Ottman usually gets around in gold polaroid aviator shades, an Icon

America Snakeskin Bomber Jacket (no shirt), black kung fu pants and
black slip-on kung fu shoes. If the occasion calls for it, his Social
and chipped Wardrobe & Style combine. In the past this has lead to him
appearing garbed as a Rajput Princeling or a Delhi Sultanate Maharaja.
There’s always something a bit Flash Gordon-ish about these getups.
Ottman always carries them off with aplomb however.

Of average build, Ottman’s skin is a smooth pale golden wash over his
body. Bald as a cue ball. His broad face is dominated by vivid golden
cyberoptics with luminous golden glitter swirling within. His cyberarms
are a deep military green.

 Is a gourmand rather than a gourmet.

 Prefers the ‘real’ life out on the streets to that of the corps.
 Intellectual, but has no formal education.
 Enjoys travelling and is fascinated by India, but has never visited.
 Dark and quirky sense of humour.
 Believes Socrates’ ghost visits him in his dreams.

Altered Persistence of Vision (N - 450 - D3+1)

An unusual system, allowing you to see the scanning line instead of the
TV picture, the flicker of a cine film rather than be fooled into
thinking that the figures are moving. You can see clouds move, see
things moving that are too slow for normal vision to see. It alters your
view of the world. You no longer see motion blurs when things move fast,
you see the thing move in detail. +1 to perception tests involving very
fast or very slow movement. You can also see subliminal images in TV or
video footage, and so are less effected by them (+5 to resist).

 ~ Thompson ~

Once, long ago, there was a combat cameraman and media jock known to
everyone as simply ‘Thompson’. He served as a correspondent on the
ground during the bloody Second Central American Conflict. It was there
that he developed a liking for heavy weapons and hard-edged stories.
Afterwards he ended up working for Breakthru TV and married a local
girl. While digging up the dirt on the infamous Arasaka Corporation, his
wife died in a car accident. Thompson went to town on Arasaka and gained
some major enemies. He then took on Diverse Media Systems, but things
went bad. He took an incendiary grenade in the face and barely made it
out alive. Then good old DMS CEO Harris Lucas put a price on his head of
$500,000 Eurodollars and sent some faceless killers after him too.

Thompson disappeared. Some say he died and is buried in the concrete

foundations of a downtown building project in Manhattan. Some say he’s
still out there and when the ‘big’ story breaks, he’ll be the one
breaking it.

TWENTY MINUTES INTO THE FUTURE...

Matchsticks - This nondescript basement club is small, accommodating
about 70 to 100 people when full. It is decorated in the style of a
“jazz joint” from over a century ago, and features nightly bands. Always
low profile, Matchsticks follows a strict “members only” policy. To
enter, one must be either a member or the guest of one. To become a
member, a candidate must be sponsored by a current Matchsticks member.
The doorman, Mister Terrence Webbs, an imposing presence in tailored
tuxedo, is a rumoured to be a former special ops assassin with a
photographic memory. Matchsticks is located on the old Forest Lodge
Hotel site, Arundel St, Forest Lodge. The place is managed, and some say
covertly owned, by Rafael J. Rowd of Carpathia (Neon Iczer). Notable for
his translucent neon blue cyberoptics and Bauhaus suits. Security is in
the hands of Ataturk Bey.

The Night City - As with most modern cities, Sydney has an underground
labyrinth of used and disused tunnels. Here one can find the current
subway systems, multiple pedestrian ways, subterranean shopping malls,
loading docks, cargo storage halls, underground car parks, fire
department training areas, industrial storage areas, academic library
archives, secure government offices, secluded corporate facilities,
countless service conduits (electricity, gas, water, telephone), various
sewers – old and new, massive storm water drains, old cisterns,
forgotten colonial sites and smuggling runs, the long abandoned workings
of the Sydney Harbour Colliery, never realised tramways, mothballed
railway links, abandoned road tunnels, crumbling crypts, old military
bunkers and defence tunnels, bomb shelters from the Cold War, hidden
basements, concealed survivalist caches, and the like. This secluded,
mysterious, and subtly interlinked underground maze beneath the streets
of Sydney forms its own small world and is known colloquially as the
Night City. It extends in all directions and runs for miles, thus
forming a 3D network of vast and complex scale. It is the providence of
drifters, gangbangers, smugglers, organised crime, shadow clinics, and
even the occasional police presence.
Rafael J. Rowd of Carpathia (Neon Iczer), lean and lithe, notable for
his translucent neon blue cyberoptics and Bauhaus suits. Possessed of a
dark and dry sense of humour. He’s suave, charismatic and urbane -
reminiscent of Sean Connery as 007.

In the glove box is an APTR Chip (Driving +3) and an old hardcover book,
Following the Equator by Mark Twain. Used as a bookmark is a photo
showing three happy people in a typical TexMex bar. A lean and wiry man
young man with short wavy dark hair and an open face, is standing beside
a beautiful Latino woman with rippling waist-length hair. Off to the
left a little ways is a short and stocky Mexican gent with a thick
downward curving moustache and wavy hair. He’s toasting the couple with
a mug of foaming black velvet. Written on the back in green felt-tip pen
is the following statement in Spanish. “Thompson and Rogue. First
Meeting. Bedford Blues & Music Festival - 2013. Happy Days. Mr. Santos
Morales Rivas at Left”.

In the boot is an old Breakthru TV MultiFormat NewsCam in a scruffy

olive green army duffel bag from the Second Central American Conflict.
The Team is a rough group of Street and Speed Samurai who currently call
Sydney home. They all grew up on the mean streets of the urban sprawl of
London. Their Combat Zone families were either abusive or drug addicted,
usually both. Life was hard on the streets, but the kids formed a kind
of family for each other. As young teenagers they drifted from
shoplifting into more serious crimes and ended up doing various
stretches in prison.

In England in the 2020s, prisons have been outsourced by the government

to various private concerns. There is the occasional horror story in the
press of prisoners being used for various experiential purposes, but the
media turns a blind eye to the situation on the whole. After all, the
corporations that run the prisons, also run the media.

In their late teens they pulled a handful of successful jobs for RATI
Holdings. They even ended up in orbit once. Trained by Basimba, they
pulled a job that got them into the bad books with NAC (No-Ahme
Caldwell). Calling in all their favours with RATI Holdings, they managed
to reach Sydney alive and are currently keeping a low profile.

Each has a rap sheet a mile long. Buying, Receiving & Possession of
Stolen Goods; Disorderly Conduct; Illegal Netrunning (Black Dragon,
Tiny, Street Ghost); Larceny; Liquor Laws; Obstruction of Justice;
Traffic Offences; Auto Theft; Burglary; Fraud; Group Voyeurism; Low
Impact Bloodsports; Prostitution and Non-Commercialised Vice; Weapons
Offences; Assault; Pitfights; Robbery; Aggravated Assault.

Elements and characters from Stone (1974), The Man with Bogart's Face
(1980), Outland (1981), Max Headroom (1985 & 1987), Cyborg (1989), Sons
of Steel (1989), Showdown in Little Tokyo (1991), The Trauma 2020 Books
(Peter Beere - Urban Prey, The Crucifiction Squad, Silent Slaughter) and
The Long Orbit (A Novel By Mick Farren) form something of a back story
to the campaign.

The game modules Night City Stories (London), Child’s Play (London and
Near Orbit), Maria Mercurial (London and Sydney), Dream Chipper
(Sydney), In The Musical Vein (Sydney) and When The Chips Are Down
(Sydney, Melbourne, Singapore) are also key ingredients.

In 2020, Sydney has a thriving Little Tokyo, occupying the suburbs of

Manly and Queenscliff. Nomads, biker gangs and boosters haunt the
shadows and wander the outer suburbs. The Blue Mountains are a wild and
dangerous place. The Brain Lightning plague of 2015 is now a fading
memory of horror and chaos. Media and Orbital Corps are rapidly
expanding, their power and their influence easily outstrips that of the
government.

Yoshida-sama currently serves as the administrator of Sydney’s smuggling

trade with South-East Asia and was the principal founder of the ‘Black
Port’, the illegal Hawkesbury River sea and air port controlled by the
Yakuza.
Born in London, Black Dragon is a man of Caribbean African and Japanese
heritage, with ebony skin tones and oriental features. A exquisitely
rendered light tattoo of a dragon in shimmering pearlescent ivory and
silver rides over his back. Its open mouth gapes behind the right ear,
while the body writhes its way down his back with sweeping wings
covering both shoulder-blades and a wickedly spiked tail following the
line of his spine. When on a run, Black Dragon uses mirrored contacts
and always wields his trademark ebony and ivory walking stick.

Black Dragon is part merc, part showmen and part mystic. He creates in
others a belief in magic and the occult. He’s very much cast in the
mould of Aleister Crowley. Some say he’s mad. A few say he’s a living
zombie in the thrall of Baron Samedi.

Dominic V. Kola of RATI Holdings owes you for saving his life in a Corp
War. You can call on his help once, and this clears your personal debt.
In monetary terms, Dominic’s help has a rough limit of $50,000
Eurodollars. But friends are better than money, more useful too.

failed prison re-education scheme. His main cyber mods run to gun and
vehicle controls. He tends to wear corporate suits (Capitol Range), but
dumps the jacket and adds a long deep brown leather duster. He favours
loud and lurid ties too. He has a caffeine stick habit and a

With his heritage extending back to Continental England, The Ripper has
a certain offbeat sense of Euro style. He’s a tall and lightly muscled
man with pale skin tones, aristocratic features and a short mane of
honey blond hair. His hazel eyes are narrow and watchful. His hands are
dexterous, yet callused, from years of combat training. His cyberwear
combines speedware and advanced adrenal systems. He’s claims to be a
master of Wing Chun. The Ripper gets about in an eclectic mix of cammo
gear and urban flash.

A rough and tumble dog of the London streets, Street Ghost is an
excessively hairy and squat fellow. His dark and liquid granite-stone
grey eyes are deepset under massive brow ridges. His hair is close
cropped and of a rich earthy red hue, while his bristly beard is deeper
hued and braided into several short ropes. His bronzed hide is covered
in swirling Celtic tattoos. Street Ghost’s voice is deep and brutal.
Basically a brawling, table smashing, bench thumping sort. He does have
some rudimentary netrunning skills, however. He always gets around in
jeans and jacket with paramilitary boots, belt and kevlar tee shirts.

 ~ The Underwood Organisation ~
On the fringes of the rambling and decaying Strathfield industrial
estates is a vast grove, almost a forest really, of feral bamboo. Deep
within this tangle sprawls a grand old colonial house. Sweeping
verandas, solid ironbark construction, two stories above ground and
below there are several modern laboratories. For this primordial estate
is the HQ for the Underwood Organisation.

The Underwood Organisation is a group of three people of a scientific

bent who work as an independent Research-&-Development collective with a
definite inclination towards fringe science.

Anne is a laid-back Medical Tech. Tall, beautiful, and lightly muscled.

Ruffled goldenrod blond hair and misty grey-blue eyes. Knowledgeable
about Traditional Chinese Medicine and Gypsy Herbalism. Holds a Doctor
of Philosophy from the University of New South Wales, a Master of Music
from the Manhattan School of Music, and is a skilled horticulturist.
Anne lived for a few years in Greenwich Village as a teenager and has
worked South-of-the-Border in the cybertech division of Mexican Metals.
She enjoys melancholy jazz and Mexican food. Anne knows some Capoeira.

Watson is a studious Medical Tech with a spiritual bent, skilled in

meditation, yoga, and kendo. Solidly built, mellow featured and
friendly. Lived for three years at the Iwashimizu Shinto Shrine in
Japan. Has completed the Buddhism pilgrimage entirely on foot.
Travelling from the Buddha's birthplace at Kapilavastu to the site where
he attained Enlightenment at Bodh Gaya and on to where he first preached
at Benares and then on to where he achieved Parinirvana at Kusinagara.
Watson knows some Aikido, in addition to his other athletic talents.

The groups Techie is Phil, a wanderer from New Zealand, who was once a
quartermaster with the NZ Navy. Hawk featured, moustachioed and sharp.
Argumentative and irreverent. Skilled vehicle mechanic and materials
expert. Keeps a collection of Max Interceptor Performance Cars out the
back of the HQ. All in various states of repair and with various
modifications. Phil knows some Savate and Boxing.

The HQ is also home to six leopards, one male and five females, cloned
(of cause) and raised from kittens right at the estate. They are pets
cum watch dogs.

Security runs to numerous Arasaka RDAK Spy & Assassin Remotes

(Microwaver and Black-Eyed Dick) and even more numerous Adrek Robotics
Mini-Cyberform Model A-2 "Tarantula" Units (Etherylide-23). Some have a
bamboo camouflage pattern and others have an urban camouflage patter. A
handful of small military cyberhounds of triplastic construction patrol
the estate. They are amazingly fast, frighteningly intelligent and have
a taser bite. A green tree python, enhanced with experimental bioware,
also makes it’s home in the bamboo forest. So extensive are it’s
modifications that it’s more akin to a Linnorm, the dragons of ancient
Norse legend, than a snake.
 ~ Twenty Minutes in to the Future ~

These days the world runs full steam ahead around the clock. Residents
of the urban sprawl can always find something to do, somewhere to eat, a
movie to see, even places to shop at any time of the day or night.
Subways and taxicabs run all the time. The pace of life moves as fast as
anyone wants it to go, and sometimes much faster.

Most people are aware that cyborgs and other wonders of advanced
technology, such as limb transplants and computer intelligence, exit.
Most of them however think of it all as something that happens somewhere
else to other people. It’s the realm of the military or the criminal
fraternity or even the global corporations. It’s not part of their lives
and they generally take no notice of it. In general, nothing weird much
fazes ordinary people any more. It’s just part of the shadowy world
beyond their daily lives that’s best avoided. It’s easier and safer to
just not ‘get involved’.

Technoshock: When technology and info-input outstrips people's ability

to comprehend or fit it into their lives. Suddenly, people freak out.

Tempel Pharmaceuticals I.G. is a pharmaceutical and chemical company

began in a 19th Century German century dye works and has since become
one of the world's largest and most profitable combines. Their diverse
interest also includes agribusiness and banking divisions.

Network News 54 is a wavelength monopoliser, operating on the same

frequency across the world. Accordingly, no matter where you go, Network
News 54 is always on Channel 54. Despite its name, 54 offers many
diversions in addition to news. Every regional office offers a slightly
different program schedule, with syndicated series, non-prime-time
movies, independent local news programs, and the like. All within the
framework of Head Office proscribed protocol. Certain elements of the
broadcasting are universal world-wide, such as bi-hourly news shows and
prime-time documentary series.

WNS (World News Service) keeps tabs on the world, by any means possible.
Newspapers and news stations around the world pay large amounts of money
to receive WNS stories via the WorldSat Network. WNS has more offices
than most corporations, but most of these offices are fairly small and
limited in function, intended to serve only as bases of operations for
the operatives and reporters working in an area. WNS has at least a
small office in almost every major city in the world, but these are
sometimes no more than rooms with a few provisions, one resident agent
and a Telecom-Terminal linked to the nearest regional office. Few
competitors can match WNS' information gathering capabilities, and WNS
ensures that it remains at the forefront, not only through legitimate
means, but also through spying, espionage, sabotage and illegal snooping
of all sorts. WNS does not run any stations of its own, choosing instead
to broker its information to the highest bidder. There is no shortage of
buyers, ratings hungry broadcasters will fork over millions for
exclusive rights to an especially juicy story, and the included multi-
media presentation package containing WNS' videos, write-ups and
commentaries on the story.
 ~ Shade & Sergei ~
- Jim Cassidy’s Old Orbital Comrades -

No one knows much about Shade’s background. Five years ago she turned up
in Japan, recovering from major injuries and using archaic prosthetic
limbs. Her papers were Turkish. She signed on with the Japanese
Aerospace Bureau and pulled high risk security duty while she rebuilt
her shattered body. She claims amnesia, and cannot recall anything
before she arrived in Japan after a terrible automobile accident.

When she first arrived, Shade was a tall, athletic and leggy black
woman. Her left arm and right leg were gone, and she had terrible facial
and torso scaring. BodyScultping has removed the scars and her natural
athletic beauty has returned, now backed with steel.

These days Shade has left JAB, and now rides the high frontier.

For a time she partnered up with space smuggler and netrunner Jim
Cassidy. Cassidy hung out in a workshack, their home base, while Shade
drove the bus (a decrepit ex-Soviet OTV). One day Cassidy vanished, it
looked like a corporate hit. Shade still has feelers out for her old
partner, she hopes he’ll turn up one day soon.

Currently Shade is continuing the smuggling business, and has teamed up

with a tough old Russian pilot (Sergei). She has dropped from the role
of pilot to administrator and seems to be looking for ways to expand. A
security concern perhaps? Or maybe even a commercial police business?

Shade and Sergei have never been lovers. One’s into metal and one’s into
meat.

Shade has no amnesia, it’s just an act.

She was born Darya Alexandrovna Oblonsky, of Russian and Zaire heritage,
in Volgograd. Her parents were technicians for the Soviet Rocket Corps
and she grew up in a decaying, but once upscale neighbourhood. Her
family was a large one with five brothers and two sisters. Darya was the
youngest. At school she excelled at gymnastics and media studies. As a
young woman, she shocked her family when she refused the Soviet Rocket
Corps cadet entry program and instead joined the Soviet Military Police.
Always outwardly self-assured and composed, and inwardly driven, Shade
excelled at every stage of theory and practical training.

She did well out on the streets too. But after some two years she ran
afoul of the Russian Mafia. Her immediate supervisor was already in the
pay of the Russian Mob and he failed to support her when she needed it
most. Kidnapped from her flat, she was abused and beaten in the
docklands for two days. Her carefully accumulated evidence was altered
to incriminate Shade herself and was ‘found’ by her traitorous
supervisor.
Some police friends found her on day three and got her safely away to
Istanbul in Turkey. They refused to do more, fear of the Russian Mafia
kept them silent. They did give her enough money to change her name and
begin the long process of rebuilding her body.

Shade blew Istanbul for Japan as soon as she could move unaided.

Although horrifying, the whole experience has not destroyed her. Shade
still has some measure of her old self-assurance and composure. Trust is
something that Shade now guards more zealously than all the wealth in
the world. Only Jim Cassidy and Sergei have some modicum of her
camaraderie these days. Outwardly she is always diplomatic and
courteous, while inwardly her drive still burns. It’s just now focused
almost exclusively on saving her own skin.

The Russian Mafia did a real job on Shade. They compound fractured her
left arm and right leg on day one, and then took them off with a
chainsaw the next. She had extensive facial injuries, including
shattered cheek and jaw bones, and a great deal of blunt trauma to the
torso. There were some internal injuries too. They kept her alive with
liberal quantities of skin foam, bone glue, spray skin, and tissue glue.

Shade hates the idea of ever being vulnerable again or in need of

something she doesn’t have ready-and-waiting. To this end she’s packed
her body with cyberware & bioware options and keeps handy items of gear
stashed ready-&-waiting.

The rest is history!

Gone are the corporate suits, the short and neat hair and the subtle
makeup. These days Shade wears electric blue and chrome urban flash
clothes (heavy on the skull motifs), has a cropped down blood red mohawk
and her makeup is bold and wild with lots of reds and deep earthy tones.

Shade’s orbital resources run to an old Pakistani workshack, a battered

Soviet deep space OTV and a first generation NASA space shuttle. Al-
though well used the OTV is solid and reliable. The ancient shuttle is
space worthy, but missing a few heat tiles and couldn’t handle re-entry
on Earth. Fixing it is Sergei’s favourite down time hobby. Of more imme-
diate use, Sergei has rigged a 50’ boom on the workshack fitted with
over a hundred solar electric panels. How there’s power to burn. The
workshack was originally used as a testing area for various experimental
zero gee ag-crop hybrids.

Other gear available runs to a Soviet flitter, a Pakistani work module,

three skinsuits, a worksuit, two old Soviet Mars suits, a small backpack
EVA unit, a manned manoeuvre unit, a bubble shelter (6 x 24 hr) and an
emergency bubble.
Sergei Arkadyevich Kronsteen is almost as wide as he is tall. Shaved
head, dark eyes, nose shaped like a potato, thick moustache, hairy arms,
large feet and huge hands, belly like a sack of onions. He is enamoured
of the banya or bathhouse, and spends as much time as possible enjoying
their various delights on the Crystal Palace. Naked in the steam baths,
he looks like a greying gorilla.

Gruff, straightforward, and cheerful. Born and bred in Ufa, within the
shadow of the Ural Mountains. Sergei ended up in orbit when the Russia
he knew and loved began to change. Once, long ago, he was a military pi-
lot with the Russian boarder forces. He now works as a smuggler and
courier in near orbit. He visits Russia twice a year, once in spring and
again just as autumn slips into winter.

Sergei gets around in old Russian military jumpsuits, either taiga

camouflage or military green. He’s almost always barefoot. On the
Crystal Palace, he adds a pair of grip slippers (much like diver’s reef
shoes). He has a Soviet Military Bearskin Hat (SP 12, Protects to -20°),
a Soviet Military Greatcoat (SP 16, Protects to -20°) and Soviet
Military Boots (SP 20, Protects to -20°) for use when he’s back in
Russia. A skinsuit is always handy.

Sergei carries a Hammer M-11 Bolt Pistol and a Militech Black Widow
Flechette Pistol (both smart chipped) in speedholsters on his broad
synthi-leather tool belt. Other gear on the belt runs to a Militech KRV
Boot Knife, several goop balls, a few slap patches, protective goggles
with anti-dazzle, low impedance interface cables, a hand manoeuvre unit,
powerdriver, vac-solderer, mini-vac, microtools, combo flash, sniffer,
pressure alarm, radiation meter, personal radmeter, several packs of
velcro, drink bottle, rail key, hands free comset, MiniCell Phone
(Voicemail & Privacy Plus) and a Russian micro computer (Equivalent to a
Zetatech ‘E-Book’ Microcomp, Cybernetic Version, +2 Int/Tech Skill
Rolls, Tritech Datashielding, Techscanner Package, Credit Transactor
Package, Facebank Access, SDP 10, SP 15).

Sergei has been befriended by the wild Rastifarian Workgangers of Near

Orbit. He can call upon them for one favour a month. This is equivalent
to a Family Special Ability of +2.
